☯ 1. The barrier has fallen and the entirety of the Avatar world is open for exploration. If you're going to the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom or any of the Air Temples, you might have a few days to travel. Stuck on a boat, airship or flying bison; yeesh! Those headed to the Fire Nation have the option of taking an ominous-looking portal located on Air Temple Island which will zip them straight there! No matter the destination, the population of each nation seems a little... thinned out.
☯ 2. Do you have an OU counterpart somewhere? Does that counterpart have some kind of bending-related ability? Then today is your lucky today! Gone are the days of bending (or non-bending); today, you get the powers your OU counterpart has! Alternatively, you thought you were out of the woods when everyone else had their bending messed up; not so anymore!
☯ 3. The city is in desperate need of vigilantes. Maybe. Vandals are ruining the city. Some are destroying property while others are making inappropriate graffiti on the walls and streets of the city.
☯ 4. Fresh off the boat? You know, now that all the barriers have dropped? Well you better find yourself a place to live and a place to work; otherwise you might as well make yourself home in Avatar Korra Park or ask for help on Air Temple Island.
[A pool has formed in the Spirit Wilds. Probably it used to be a fountain, but seems to have been taken over by something else, the center lopped off and away. The water is absolutely clear, but also absolutely deeper than it should be; one can no longer see the bottom of it.]
[If you approach, you're liable to feel watched. Out of the corners of your eyes, you'll probably catch spirits and other small animals with strange markings -- almost like faces? They seem unusually intelligent, though for now they only watch.]
[For any Avatars, the place is flush with spiritual energy and may make your own face feel like it needs to make contorted expressions to match the ones nearby.]
[ This pool wasn't here before was it? Jin was almost certain it used to be something else. She slowly moved toward it and stared in amazement. The water was so clear and bright. It was so beautiful! ]
I wonder how this got here. Is it... a gift from the spirits maybe?
[ She moves closer to the pool and sits down close to it. Something seems weird though. She quickly turns her head, feeling like someone was there, but as soon as she looked she saw nothing. ]
[Just when you think the neighborhood is tranquil and secure, just when you've made a nice, little niche for yourself, here comes a human poking around.]
[The water in the pool begins to bubble in the center, almost boil, sending small waves rippling against the walls, and then it churns, water almost threatening to lash out of the confines entirely.]
[A woman's face emerges from the depths, tipped toward the light, nearly human, beautifully shaped ... save for the fact that her skin is marble white, and where her eyes should be, the beginning of a crown begins, looped vines supporting a many-branched cluster of horns not unlike the upended roots of a tree. If that were not disconcerting enough, it would seem the first face is not one, but many -- a multitude of identical, marble-pale faces that look in all directions.]
[The spirit's frame is inhuman, gaunt, the shoulders peaked, the arms too long and tipped with clawlike hands. Her entire body is wrapped in mud-colored vines and plant material; the faces are her only visible skin.]
[She towers over Jin, raining a chorus of droplets into the pool. Her voice is absolutely wry.]
Is this the cunning of the humans? That if I am displaced into their midst, that they can seek me at any time they choose?
What is it that you want, so that I can quickly refuse you and have done?
[Lord Zuko might be a strange sight in the spirit wilds, but he's actually started frequenting this part of the city lately. His uncle made it is temporary home, and if there's any way to solve the spiritual problems besetting Republic City and the rest of the world, the only way to find a solution is to take the time to better understand the spirits.
So Lord Zuko is puzzled when, on this visit, what had previously been a fountain now seems to be a very deep pool. And those spirits watching him seem... very familiar. Even if it's been a very long time since he last saw them, there was no forgetting what had first drawn him to them -- or to the powerful spirit they were tied to.
Cautious, but curious, too, the aging firebender approaches the edge of the pool.]
[Close enough that his face reflects in the surface ... and as it does, the water seethes in response, shattering his visage into ripples, then waves that lap against the stone. He may well remember the spirit who emerges, crowned and many-faced. Perhaps she remains human-sized -- albeit a very tall human -- as a favor. More likely, it is a convenience.]
[She regards him a moment, if one can call it that; no eyes are visible beneath the loops of root and vine. One clawed hand lifts, dripping; the length of her arm easily spans the space between them, the tips of her fingers grazing his chin.]
Your face is known to me. Yours, and that of your mother.
[Mia hasn't seen anything like the Spirit Wilds before. She's utterly fascinated with all of the growth in this part of the city, and she can tell it hasn't always been like this. It must have happened after the Harmonic Convergence, she supposes, after her chieftain Unalaq had tried to become the Dark Avatar. She cringes at the memory, not really all that happy about it, even if the city seems to have "gotten used to" the spirit vines for now.
[But as she wanders, especially near a pool in the center of the wilds, there is definitely an odd feeling, and she can't help but have the paranoid feeling that she's being watched somehow.]
[ Fresh off the boat? Try brand new to the world. Gigi was a brand new spirit that seemed to be attracted to this strange city. She was a little nervous to cross over between where the spirit wilds end and republic city began, so she was manly hanging out around the border, if you'd call it a border.
Anyone walking by might get a strange sensation that they were being watched. ]
[Exploring this city was going to take quite a bit of time, and there's no way to be sure if she's even in the right place, but she'd heard about the Spirit Wilds, and she decided that it was quite necessary to check them out for signs of her cousin, should he have even come this way. Not that she was hopeful, but the Spirit Wilds seemed like a reasonable place someone might hide.
[Mia is taking a walk along the road that most closely "borders" all of Spirit Wilds, and she's taking a few momentary pauses to examine all the vines and feel them. She can sense an energy within it, though she doesn't understand anything about it.] What even happened to this place at the Harmonic Convergence? [she asks herself, not really expecting much of an answer. As she stares into the Wilds, pushing aside a few hanging vines to take a deeper look into the woods, she just looks on with amazement.
[That is, of course, until she gets that strange sensation of being watched...]
[ Gigi jumped a little when she heard the person's voice. She didn't mean to startle anyone, but it was hard to resist following. She stayed silent, but continued to move a bit closer. ]
Should anyone find themselves near the Spirit Wilds today, they would hear the sound of a flute echoing from deep within. The tune seems to weave in and out of the spirit vines as if possessing a life of its own, but should someone manage to trace it back to its source, they would find a young man of peculiar appearance seated amongst the vines, a flute held to his lips.
He continues to play for some time, either unaware of his audience or intentionally prolonging his performance. Once the song ends, however, he stands and with an overly-exaggerated flourish, points his instrument at the listener.
"Hark! The call of the heavens, the earth, the sea... They summon me forth to defeat evil! Waka, the gods' gift to man is here! Bonjour!"
Aang heard the pleasant tune as he explored the spirit wilds and follows the sound with an eager curiosity. Once he finds the man, he takes a seat on one of the vines and listens attentively.
At the end, he blinks at the dramatic statement.
"Whoa, really? That's nice! But, um, what kind of evil do you have in mind?"
Grinning conspiratorially at Aang, the blond man taps the end of the flute to his lips. "Why, any evil that might threaten this land! For many years have I spent in the Spirit World, awaiting the day the world needed my return!"
And with no less theatrical a motion, he leaps into the air only to float gracefully to the ground before the young Avatar. "What do you think? It sounds pretty cool, non?"
[Ah, the professor of Republic City University has finally returned from his excavation. And boy has he missed this place. Too many rumors have been going around about EXCITING THINGS. Things that he could research! For history! So he's basically speeding around everywhere, as fast as he can. HISTORY IS EVERYWHERE AND ITS SO EXCITING!]
[Mia is fresh off the boat as well as she walks along the harbourfront of Republic City, trying to snag a moment's worth of time from anyone here. All she really wants to do is first find where the police station is and then find a temporary place to stay which will, for better or worse, become permanent. But nonetheless, everyone seems busy, especially at the wharf, during this window when ships can actually sail to and fro between the various nations!]
I know that the closest Police Station is at the corner of Kyoshi Avenue, sir. But I don't know where that is. Could you please spare a moment to—oof!
[And it's that moment when Mia wasn't looking where she was going and accidentally runs headlong into Dr. Oobleck. Oops?]
[ As a new pro-bender, Yang needed to make sure she kept her body in tip-top shape. It was standard for her to start most mornings with a run around the city before daily training. By now, most the vendors were used to her daily runs and would call out a good morning.
She barely caught one call out watch out as she turned to wave. Yang managed to turn just in time to see a blur of green right as she smacked into the man. ]
[There's a little girl skipping through the streets of Republic City today with a cheery smile on her face, she's even humming to herself as she wanders about in her pretty pink dress, pigtails bouncing and parasol twirling over her head. She's sticking to herself, apparently quite eager to take in the sights of the bustling city and she certainly seems harmless enough.
Except anybody who brushes past her might feel a shift in the air, like something's very wrong in her presence. Avatars or anybody with any spiritual awareness might also find alarm bells ringing in their heads.....]
Aaah~ Things have changed so much since the last time I was here. I can't wait to meet everybody here!
Carving A Path... Or Something Like It
[Republic City is a dangerous place to roam at night. There's definitely no shortage of unsavory types looking to take advantage of the unwary and helpless looking. Take this scene for instance: a small girl catching the eye of some hardened street toughs before bouncing away down an alley. Being followed by a group of men who quickly draw knives upon seeing her cornered and demand any money and valuables she might be carrying.
It's a frightening situation to be sure... definitely not one where you'd expect that same girl to giggle.]
Ah, you caught me! I'm really glad you decided to follow me, now you can come and be part of my collection. [Beaming brightly as can be, she raises her hand, shimmering red thread coiled around her fingers.] I just know we'll be best friends~!
[And that's when the screaming starts....]
[OOC: Warning for possible body horror elements and/or dolls for the second prompt there. Nui will still be a creepy little thing in the first prompt but not outright terrifying, unless you want her to be.]
[ Jin happened to be near the girl bouncing with energy when she skipped on by. She had never seen a girl so chipper and colorful before. It was actually really interesting! Jin slowly tried following her. ]
(1) [Currently, Tonraq was gazing out over the harbor. The ship back to the Southern Water Tribe would heading out soon, and he was looking forward to seeing Senna again. It had been nice to catch up with Korra, but he hated to leave his wife alone for too long.]
Here's hoping that things stay sane for a while...
[Not that THAT every really happened. There was always some crisis or another, where his daughter was concerned. Hopefully they could go another year without some whacko with crazy ideas starting an international incident.]
(3) Hold it! Stop right there!
[If these hooligans thought they could rob people and just take off, they had another thing coming. Tonraq slid toward them on a sheet of ice, blocking their exit as he moved around and in front of them. One man took off the way they came from, while the other tried to attack him with firebending. He slipped around the man's blows before clothes-lining him hard enough to take him out of his shoes.
A few quick long-range shots of water later, the other man was also on his rear. He bound each of them for the police, before picking up the goods they stole and returning them to the people who were just robbed.]
Stay inside if you can, folks. Things are crazy out here, right now.
[What, it just so happens that Varrick lives down here by the harbour now that he has his luxurious yacht back so you really should have suspecting bumping into this old friend, Tonraq. You only have yourself to blame. Varrick is just leaving his yacht for the evening when he spots the familiar impressive bulk of Tonraq. Yep, gonna be a little shit and wave enthusiastically at you bro. Hiiiiii did you miss this guy he's coming over to say hello even if you didn't, sorry.]
Tonraq! Great to see you again, pal. How's things back in the ol' South Pole these days?
[Mia happens to be wandering down the streets of Republic City, exploring the differences of this town compared to the capital city of the Northern Water Tribe when suddenly there happens to be a scream coming from up the street. She looks up with a start and happens to see some young vandal running away from a older woman, purse in tow as he books it.]
Hey you, stop!
[Mia takes off with a chance, plowing through the city streets after that vandal. She's definitely got a little ways to make it up to that ne'er-do-well, but, she's already opened up her water skins and is bending a sphere of water in one hand with her staff in the other.
Help her catch the bad guy?]
(4)
[The journey from the North Pole was a long one, and she'd come off to Republic City the moment she had heard that her cousin Alex had made his way out of the city. Something was up with him—someone had mentioned the Red Lotus—but she had dismissed it; it had to be a misunderstanding, right? But nevertheless, he had hightailed it out of the city, and it was her responsibility as one of the priestesses who watched over Tui and La to track him down.
But where to start? She doesn't know anyone in this city as she clambers off the boat. And is Alex even here? It's not like they were on the same boat? Here's a somewhat shy girl on her first really big assignment, and the city is larger than she expected.]
Uhm, excuse me? You wouldn't happen to know where the police department is, would you?
(5)
[Mia is at Air Temple Island and is more than a little surprised. She's staring blankly at a map of the entire world, and there are clearly four locations marked, but here she is, staring at an air temple that isn't one of the four Air Temples that she knew about. That's really funny. And weird. And she doesn't know what to do about that.]
When was this constructed? I didn't know that there was a fifth Air Temple?
[Connor is fresh off the boat and completely bewildered. Before he'd been hiding out in an Earth Kingdom forest, trying to plan his next move to strike back at the Fire Nation. Was there a next move, or should he return to his village and admit defeat? Ba Sing Se had fallen and the Avatar was dead.
Now, though, he'd been whisked away to a city like he'd never seen before -- the buildings were enormous and there were so many people. In a daze, he disembarks the ship and heads from the docks into the city, his head craned to take in the enormous skyscrapers. As skilled as he was in climbing buildings, even he'd struggle to climb those.
Eventually he snaps out of his daze enough to have the sense to stop any passers-by. He can't even tell which nation he's in from the confusing way people dress here...]
You. Can you tell me where we are?
[For his own part, he looks like he could have stepped straight out of a historical mover. He's carrying a bow and quiver full of arrows, and there is a Fire Nation-style sword and Water Tribe war club at his hip.]
( 3 )
[It's nightfall, and Connor has apprehended someone trying to break into a shop selling Water Tribe goods. He has the man in a headlock, and presses a knife to his throat as he interrogates him.]
Why are you trying to rob this place?! It belongs to your tribesmen! Your brothers and sisters!
W-what are you talking about?! I'm United Republic through and through, not from the poles!
[Connor presses the knife close enough for the steel to touch his throat, and the thief gulps.] Don't lie to me! I saw you waterbend. Why would you betray your people?
[This could go on for a while. Fortunately Connor has no real intention of cutting his throat, but he does want to frighten sense into this man.]
[Mia isn't quite used to the danger of walking out in the late evening in Republic City; coming from a more secluded part of the Northern Water Tribe capital, she feels oddly safe on the street on her own, even when she probably shouldn't be. But nonetheless, she's taking an evening walk, window shopping a little bit as she makes her way through the downtown.
[Ahead she sees two gentlemen in an argument, and upon hearing their raised voices she immediately starts running towards the both of them, but she definitely holds her distance as she clutches her staff ahead of her after she sees Connor holding a knife at the throat of the thief.
[Naturally, she makes the wrong assumption.]
Whoa, whoa. Sir, whatever has happened here, it's not worth taking his life. Just... let him go...
[Oobleck was just running back home from a day of studying exciting historical texts. And then there was violence. Of course. He better stop this. It was his duty as a teacher to stop people from being hurt. Well, it really isn't, but he felt it was his duty as a person to stop anyone from being hurt.]
Excuse me young man, you appear to be using an unnecessary amount of violence upon another human being! While everyone is free to express emotional frustration as they see fit, your actions are only spreading further despair and anger among the populace!
